Tbh they could even just promote the understudy. It's just three weeks and many people are already booking without realizing that Sutton might not be there.

Someone already mentioned this a few months ago but it's worth bringing it up again I just finished reading it and it's great, a fantastic companion piece to "When Everything Was Possible"

JOJ has apparently auditioned for this. Not sure what role. Possibly the Baker? Must be, there isn't really anything else for him

It's cute a show. I feel like the songs are too close to the originals to be truly funny by themselves (unlike, for instance, Crazy Ex Girlfriend) but there's a brilliant Do-Re-Mi pastiche in the fourth episode.
Also, suspension of disbelief is important for fiction but the idea that anyone would reject both Keegan-Michael Key AND Aaron Tveit is just too much.

She's still forgetting lines? When I saw her do the role 6 years ago she blanked in Send In The Clowns so much that they MD had to stop & re-start the orchestra. That was a one-off concert so having line problems then was somewhat forgivable but if she's still having problems 6 years later! I mean, since then she's only played the role one other time, 5 years later, for one night. It's not like she has been playing it for six years consistently.... Although the restart of Send In The Clowns at the Palace was rather delightful. Luckily it was the reprise, otherwise I would have been seriously annoyed

I assume Fredrik's previous marriage? In the first scene together he tells Henrik that Anne cannot take the place of his mother and later on Anne tells Fredrik that she married him because he was looking sad and lonely. I guess the general idea is that he had lost his wife a couple of years before the the beginning of the musical I had assumed that he'd lost his first wife some years earlier, when Henrik was a small child. That way he needn't have been cheating on his first wife when he had the relationship with Desiree that (probably) produced Frederika. But that may be me hoping he was more moral than he actually was! Oh yeah, it makes perfect sense. After all Desirée never asks him about his first wife and is not surprised to see him with a much younger woman, so the first Mrs Egerman was probably out of the picture ever since the first time Fredrik and Desirée met.

In the plot, do we ever know who Henrik's mother was - is there any reference. The lawyer seems to have had a colourful life. I assume Fredrik's previous marriage? In the first scene together he tells Henrik that Anne cannot take the place of his mother and later on Anne tells Fredrik that she married him because he was looking sad and lonely. I guess the general idea is that he had lost his wife a couple of years before the the beginning of the musical

I've just booked to take a 15 year old who finds theatre 'boring and pointless'. Nick Hytner and Bryony Lavery, I am placing a lot of weight on your shoulders: don't let me down. On the other hand I only went for the £15 tickets, so in case it is boring and/or pointless I've also booked Henry V at the Donmar - is either of these going to work for a bored teenager? It's hard to say without knowing anything specific about these productions, but if they're a fan of Game of Thrones at least they'd be interested in seeing Kit Harington

I may have missed some news... are they consolidating the two parts into a single performance, thus requiring cuts? Only in north America

He definitely does get laid, in the secret production that Rob Ashford directed in Marocco a couple of years ago Petra sang "Miller's Son" right next to a yummy naked Frid. Trevor Nunn restored the song for the Menier revival, but he eventually agreed with Sondheim and cut the song before the West End transfer. For those who care here there is Sondheim himself singing "Silly People": through-my-memoirs.tumblr.com/search/silly%20people
